Our Heritage
Since 1985, infusing true Italian pizza with enthusiasm
From Italy to Your Local Community
DoughMaestro's Pizzeria's journey began with a vision: to deliver genuine Neapolitan pizza to Rome. The Rossi lineage, originating in 1985, opened this modest pizzeria rooted in deep-seated family customs that trace back generations.
Marco Rossi, the progenitor of our establishment, mastered her craft in the alleyways of Italy, learning from renowned pizzaiolos in Naples, the cradle of pizza. Back in the UK, she strove to capture the quintessence of Italian pizza, embracing time-tested traditions and top-tier ingredients.
From a quaint eatery with only 12 seats, we've evolved into a renowned local hangout. Staying true to our origins, we honor the wood-burning oven tradition, prepare our dough from scratch daily, and procure the most exquisite ingredients available.
Now under the guidance of the Rossi's second generation, DoughMaestro's Pizzeria is still a family venture, with a dedicated team upholding our legacy. While we’ve incorporated modern advances, the soul of our work remains: making scrumptious, bona fide pizza that unites everyone.

Customer Praise
The pizza here is as close as it gets to the real Neapolitan experience outside of Italy—impeccable crust that blends crunch and a chewy texture known only from a true wood-burning oven.

I've frequented this spot for ages, and their standards never falter. The staff welcomes you as if you're kin, and the pizza is sublime—as divine as its appellation suggests. Be sure not to overlook their Truffle Mushroom option!
